| Neal and Peter fight in earnest . . . but not quite to the finish. |
“Clearly they’re lying to each other, making some kind of
bargain that neither of them can keep.”
So says Mozzie to Elizabeth as they watch Peter and Neal shake hands.
The bargain is simple: they've just seen the Betamax tape that Ellen left for Neal. Only Peter, Neal, Mozzie and Elizabeth are in on the content. Neal wants to show the tape to Sam and only Sam. Peter wants to go through official channels. So they make a pact: neither of them will show the tape to anyone--not Sam, not Diana or Jones.
And that's what sets up the centerpiece of Gloves Off: a staged boxing match between Peter and Neal that becomes all too real as each man racks up suspicions against the other, and Neal--who arguably has the greater right to be angry--finally bursts.
Don't be distracted by the case of the week. It's just a contrived way of bringing us to this fight. As for the Betamax tape--well, it gave us our MacGuffin for the season: Ellen's locket. That locket holds a key which will reveal all the evidence Ellen collected trying to prove Neal's father innocent.
Meanwhile, this episode gave us a better notion that Neal's father is alive, if unaccounted for. And those who believe Sam is Neal's father may have found more evidence: Sam seems to have some awfully fond memories of Neal as a little scamp--not to mention Neal wearing the police captain's hat.
The ending of Gloves Off contains powerful moments between Peter and Neal, such as Neal's decision to throw the fight as planned despite his anger with Peter. But Neal is still furious, and with some justice-- although Mozzie's words seem to come back to haunt both men. Neither has put much trust in each other throughout the episode, and their misunderstandings could have been avoided if they had opened up to each other.
Ultimately, Neal cut Peter off from his personal life. Even though I know they are not, in fact, done with each other, Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay were so convincing that I felt my gut churn.
But this episode leaves us with the same conundrum we've been exploring for several episodes now: is the continued distrust between Peter and Neal believable when we look at their overall relationship? It's believable on one level, I think, because Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay are so good at selling both that distrust and the love between these guys. But should Peter and Neal be past that distrust by now?

It's not that I think they shouldn't trust each other but this was a specific situation where Neal was trying to work with Peter, but he couldn't because of Sam's ultimatum. And when it comes down to it, Neal needs/wants to know about his past and his father. Frankly, I highly sympathize with that. He does trust Peter, but Peter went behind his back. And yes Neal went behind Peter's back, but he didn't outright break his promise (maybe he would have if El didn't show up; maybe he wouldn't have), but Peter really betrayed him by going to Sam. Peter loves him and wants to protect him (it broke my heart when he said that in the ring when they were fighting/hugging), but Neal is a grown man! If Peter is going to go behind Neal's back like that.... maybe Neal can't trust Peter. Even if Peter thinks he is doing what is best for Neal. :(
I definitely hear you, Laura--and I think Neal had the greater cause to be angry this episode (though I have no doubt that, one way or another, forgiveness will come.)
However, if Neal had just said, "Peter, I met with Sam. I didn't show him the tape, even though I was tempted."
Or, for that matter, if Peter had just said, "Neal, I know you met with Sam. What happened?"
I mean, come on guys! Talking is not that hard!
I get where the mistrust came in in these past few episodes, and I think the writers did as well as they could making it so the two couldn't possibly trust each other. But as J. Rosemary said, all it would have taken was a few words. I have a really really hard time believing that, after everything, those few words just were impossible to say. They've both put themselves out there other times, being earnest and bare with each other. Why not now? Because it wasn't convenient for the writers? Those few logical lines would have maybe led to trust, and we can't have that. So no. I don't think the mistrust is tenable.
Question: Do I know anyone who would constantly put it all on the line for me if I continually betrayed them? No. Even my parents won't put up with that crap.
The mistrust just doesn't work any more, not after the end of last season and the beginning of this. We've seen them be willing to do so much for each other, that this constant one step forward, two steps back just seems contrived.
Peter has proved time and again how much he's willing to put on the line for Neal. However, I do think experience has shown that it's harder for him to trust Neal. Their last pact of 'no more secrets' went up in flames. Peter carried through and told him about Fowler and the explosive and Neal promptly stole the music box and tried to shoot Fowler. Now, these were extreme circumstances and Peter was willing to accept them as such.
However, Neal, best intentions or not, has a proven track record of doing an end run around almost anything Peter's asked him to do. He's manipulated people shamefully. What Peter can trust is that Neal is doing things (treasure aside which is a big aside) for the right reasons. He trusts that Neal has a good heart and will ULTIMATELY do the right thing. However, he's impulsive and will often take some disastrous missteps along the way.
Should Peter have gone to see Sam? Wouldn't we all like to see them discuss these steps with each other first. We know he did it because he wanted to protect Neal. A bigger issue is that this is a murder investigation. Can Peter just turn a blind eye to justice and the law because Neal is worried that Sam would get spooked. Peter appealed to Sam as a fellow police officer, hoping to connect on that level. Ultimately a disastrous decision again made with the best of intentions.
Let's hope that Neal has got as big a heart as Peter. If Peter could forgive Neal for his machinations with the treasure that nearly resulted in Elizabeth's death, hopefully Neal can forgive a mistake made with good intentions.
Loved the episode for so many reasons, gorgeous men aside. The trust issue will always exist as it is the premise of the show. Historically speaking, both Neal and Peter share equal blame for their trust issues, not sure how anyone could dispute that who has actually watched since day one. Peter shares the lion share of blame now but we all know things will be better. Neal's decision to go through with throwing the fight says that his ultimate loyalty will always be with Peter, because based on Neal's passion in the ring, he easily would have taken Peter down but did not. A hurt Neal does crazy things that always lead up to that point of eventually doing the right thing. I do love the feel of Season 4, I do believe that our favorite show is hitting its stride instead of becoming formulaic and boring like Burn Notice or Royal Pains.
Wow! I didn't think there was an episode to top Checkmate. Gloves Off certainly did!.
The acting alone was incredible. During the fight and after, when Neal is walking/running to Sam's place. MB voice and the emotion on his face is priceless. It is good to see that underneath the con, Neal is vulnerable.
I liked that despite being angry and upset at Peter, Neal still listened to him, albeit for a second and hung back when Peter entered Sam's apartment. Liked Neal pulling his arm away from Peter's touch.
I believe Sam is James. I still believe that Kramer has something to do with this as Ellen (young) said that James worked for Metro PD in D.C.
I can't wait for Vested Interest. Gah, can't believe it is the summer finale already...when is it resuming, does anyone know?
Peter may bear more responsibility in this specific instance (although it was unclear what Neal would have done if El had no intervened). however, it is clear to anyone who's watched the show since day one that Neal has always been inherently untrustworthy - from his background as a professional liar to doing whatever was necessary to get what he wanted - whether that was Kate, the music box, Fowler or the treasure. If Peter doesn't trust him, there's very good reason.
I think the fourth season has been disappointing - a retread of previous issues brought up by the music box etc. I hope the writers show a little more originality in creating issues or move on to something more interesting.
I still think the mistrust sorta works, if only because neither of them has given the other reasons to trust. I have to break off here to note that there's trust and trust; they trust each other to have the other's back, they trust that they work well together, but neither trusts the other not to hurt'em in matters of the heart (and I think that phrase applies, whether you see it as romance or bromance). So Peter doesn't trust Neal not to do dumb shit and drop them all in the cacky, and Neal doesn't trust Peter not to use his power over Neal. Which Peter clearly did, this ep, with crap consequences.
But just looking at their history, despite it being Peter's fault this time, I think Neal will need to make the first step because Peter's taken more risks for Neal. Until that happens, I can see where the mistrust is coming from. I don't LIKE it, I want to smack them both over the head, but I definitely buy it.
I think two characters not being up front with the other while the audience knows both sides is a writer's tool that's been used as least since Shakespeare, probably before. As previous commenters pointed out, a simple phrase from each would have cleared up the misunderstanding and obviated the subsequent drama. I think realistically speaking they've been thru enough with each other that the trust issue is about played out as a plot device. The problem is, what can the writers come up with in its place? I think they have the talent to make the show as compelling without this constant mistrust, but perhaps are afraid to try. It's been working, sort of. It's comfortable (not for us, for them.) I'd like for them to be brave enough to go deeper into the relationship (I'm not a slasher) between these two in a mature and thoughtful way, while keeping the comedic moments that they've done so well. Could be a learning experience for all of us.
Peter hinted enough to Neal about Sam and such it was obvious all Neal had to say I talked with Sam when he was there when El was there we talked about my dad i didn't show him the tape. Anytime Neal could have said that to Peter. Hell even Moz knew Neal was lying. I am glad peter talked to Sam or whoever he is. When a file comnes with no pic that is when the red flags go up to something just ain't right with this guy. And glad Peter caught on and guessing so is Moz. And if Sam or whoever is dangerous at least peter went about it the smart way. Neal may have cut ties with him but I think deep down Peter is going to be searching for the truth now about Neals dad even if its his own investigation. I hope he finds either the locket or the box. So Neals mad he can cool off and in the meantime like to see Peter and Moz work together to figure stuff out and help Neal. Even if its in secret.
To people who say that Neal has always been inherently untrustworthy and Peter has risked so much to protect him, etc. Come on! I think your view is entirely one-sided. Most things Peter has had to protect him from are Peter's own fault. Peter has been exactly as much untrustworthy all the time as Neal. Maybe even more, because we kind of expect it from Neal.
Let's take it from the beginning:
Peter had a way to contact Kate in the first season, and didn't disclose it to Neal, even though Kate was Neal's girlfriend and it was the most important thing for Neal.
Peter didn't believe Neal in the diamond theft episode, when Neal said that he was framed.
Peter hid the music box from Neal in the second season and lied to him all the time about it, despite knowing that it was an important piece of the puzzle Neal was trying to solve.
Peter's judgmental nature caused the rift in season three and left Neal with two choices - to lie or to betray a friend.
Peter gave Neal a signal to run at the end of the third season and caused Neal's capture by his negligence at the beginning of the fourth season.
Then, when he had risked his job to get Neal back and solve the mess he himself had created, at the first sign of trouble he's ready to throw Neal back in prison without even trying to find other solutions and keeps bitching about how much he has risked for Neal.
When Neal asks for Peter's help with the Ellen's murder, he explains how he can't do anything, and then promptly starts sneaking around behind Neal's back and complaining how Neal won't share things with him. And then, despite being asked several times not to do something and despite his promise not to do it, he does it anyway, because he's what? Protecting Neal? More like being jealous, patronizing, judgmental and overbearing person he's always been.
Neal has caused Peter problems professionally, but he has never ever interfered with his private life. Peter keeps doing this to Neal over and over again. Why should Neal trust him? How could he, when experience shows that Peter won't believe him anyway?
This rant is meant to counterbalance the rampant glorification of "pure and self-sacrificing" Peter.
Hey, what happened to the Peter who told the "Free-Neal-Maybe" ommitee that he believed Neal should be free? And that he shouldn't be treated like a criminial, or he'd always behave like one? Neal hasn't done anything particularly prison-worthy since then. Yeah, he's been cagey, but he's tried really hard to make the right choices this season and he's made some significant progress.
So why the backslide, Peter?
I agree with the anonymous person above who said, "Most things Peter has had to protect him from are Peter's own fault." But -- Neal is so adorable and does generally seem to want to do good things, that it can be hard to remember that he's had an extensive criminal career and hasn't really repented. Peter never forgets that, and as a law enforcement officer, he shouldn't. Regarding P's testimony at N's hearing, I think that was specific to the circumstances. He'd already given N the go sign before he testified; he knew that it wasn't a choice between anklet and no anklet, but between virtual slavery with Kramer and freedom. I suspect that, had K not come into play, P would have chosen to keep N on the anklet.
The problem is, they've gotten so closely entangled in each other's lives in spite of this bright line between them as cop and criminal. I think each genuinely wants to make the other's life better. That they have this attraction -- not necessarily sexual; a personal attraction -- and at the same time are in such an odd position vis a vis one another, keeps the tension level up and that's good for the show.
Are you guys old enough to remember Moonlighting? Or Cheers? This is Eastin trying not to make the same mistake as those shows did. There's too much for me to try to explain it here, but if you're not familiar with those, I'm sure you can find lots of info on-line.
Now, the situation in WC is more complex; it's not a romance between P and N, but the dynamic is awfully similar (hence the slash fandom). Elizabeth and Mozzie are both pretty well-realized secondary characters, and the writers have arranged for each of the four to have a one-on-one relationship of some kind with each of the others. It's a complex dynamic with shifting alliances, and if it stops being that, it won't be WC anymore.
On another note, I thought Neal's anger in this episode was interesting. We've seen Peter pissed as all heck; Neal, not so much. He's been pretty calm, at least outwardly. I see this not as an out of character moment, but as revealing something about the character that we might not have understood before.
Agree with so many comments in the thread, especially those disputing 'St. Peter.' love him but just as guilty as Neal when in reality, by profession, he should not be. Any way, love both of them. BTW, promo pics of Matt all over the web in boxing gear gave a nice ratings bump in the toughest time slot of the week. Good job WC and really great job Matt! This man is a true actor in every sense of the word. He showed such a range of emotions in one episode.
I'm almost willing to bet Sam is not really Sam (remember we didn't see his face at Helen's funeral, and his picture also didn't show up at the report Peter got). He's playing Neal, for whatever reason. It just seems too convenient that Peter goes to talk to him and all of the sudden he's forced to leave.
Peter found him, so know he knows who he is and he so he has to look for a way out (and at the same time drive Neal away from Peter) .
Maybe he's looking for the box and the evidences Helen kept and is using Neal to get to them.
Maybe ...
They can trust each other to protect each other. But even as well as they know each other there is will still be disagreements and misunderstandings. That means Peter will worry about Neal getting hurt doing it his way and Neal will worry about Peter getting in trouble over him.
So they can trust each other to do what they think is right, but not without misunderstanding. And not always agree on it.

This rant is meant to counterbalance the rampant glorification of "pure and self-sacrificing" Peter.
I haven't seen any rampant glorification of Peter or people depicting him as a saint. The best I have really seen is people (correctly) recognizing that Neal and Peter are equally to blame/equally wrong in all of this, and noting that Peter is still more patient than pretty much any FBI agent on the planet for giving Neal chance after chance despite Neal constantly going behind his back and lying to his face (yes, lies of omission are still lies, no matter how much Neal may protest). What does seem to be rampant, however, is this…implication that poor Neal has the right to commit crimes and do anything he wants to in pursuit of his personal goals/vendettas, and mean old Peter is spoiling his fun by trying to stop him from breaking the law and/or flying off the handle.
To bring things back down to earth for a moment: As much as I love Neal (and I do!), Peter's responsibility to protect people from Neal's criminality/crimes absolutely trumps Neal's "need" to commit crimes, or even to go around the law in order to avenge his losses. In addition, as someone who has a custodial relationship with Neal (handler/CI), Peter has a responsibility to do everything in his power to protect Neal from his own criminality/crimes, too. Anonymous up there is complaining that Peter keeps information away from Neal all the time - but...I mean, when he reveals stuff to Neal (for instance, the music box/fowler/kate thing), Neal goes completely apeshit and veers off the reservation (by, for instance, stealing the music box/subverting the FBI's investigation of Alex Hunter/trying to kill Fowler). So Peter is perfectly within his rights to keep things from Neal if he thinks that they will set Neal off. [cont next comment]
[cont from above]
And furthermore, as a sworn officer of the law, Peter has an absolute responsibility to report any crime that he has knowledge of, to keep everything he does on-the-record and maintain a commitment to transparency in law enforcement, and to basically just...take orders from superiors/conduct himself in a lawful manner all the time. So most of the examples up there about how Peter is a bad bad person for constantly being suspicious of Neal and wanting to throw him and jail and stuff - that's actually Peter doing the right thing, and doing his job properly. Even in this episode - any other FBI agent in the world would have investigated Sam/put his name through the system/done exactly what Peter did the very second that Neal even mentioned Sam. Peter didn't do anything wrong in investigating Sam - he was just doing his job. The fact that he held off on investigating Sam for this long and tried to do things Neal's way is a testament to his care/loyalty to Neal, but when he saw that Neal was going to do whatever he wanted regardless of what Peter thought, he was just all "screw it". The show has clearly depicted that Peter is willing to bend the rules as far as he can in order to accommodate Neal - but everyone has a limit as to how far they can go, and Peter has been reaching his lately.
That said, Peter has made some grave errors, especially recently - the biggest one, I think, is that he has been too inconsistent in how he deals with Neal. Rather than setting in place firm guidelines as to what is and is not okay, Peter has been letting Neal get away with some things (out of fondness and a desire not to see him in trouble) and then coming down on him really firmly for other things. He's also been trying to beat Neal at his own game (that is, trying to play games with Neal like Neal plays games with him), and that's never going to end well. However - I think that both Neal and Peter are just…flawed and human and trying to figure out a way through all the chaos in any way they can. I don't understand the fandom's obsession with being on Neal's side vs. Peter's side - why can't we have sympathy/empathy for both> of them, and hope that they make it through this together as a team? There's no need to tear one character down in order to build the other up.
I agree what we should have sympathy/empathy with both of them, but the inconsistency you mentioned in your post, is in my opinion one reason why many fans have a problem with Peters behaviour. He was willing enough to break the law when Neal was about to be thrown back into jail or become a life long prisoner of the FBI at the end of last- and beginning of this season. Yet he won't break the rules to find Helens killer. Some people may question in which case breaking the rules would be more justified. For Peter Neals freedom was more important, but I'm not sure how Neal feels about this - after all Helen was like a mother to him...
I agree that Peter isn't always consistent in dealing with Neal, and in fact has flagged how Neal manages to constantly dodge consequences. However that particular example (sending Neal away vs not going off-book for Ellen) is, I think, a case of Peter having completely run out of credit with the FBI. He's eaten three suspensions (iirc) in as many years (or however long it's been, in-show), has been threatened with reassignment, is basically this close to losing his job and career. If he wants to play it careful now, I find it hard to blame him.
I actually think Peter's problem is that he treats Neal the same whether it be for personal matters or legal ones. So far the really big secrets he's kept from Neal are largely about law--Kate, music box/Fowler, treasure. Then, he could be pretty sure that Neal would either run or go batshit. Now Neal is doing something that might not actually be illegal (it's not a crime to meet with someone who knew your dad to try to find out what happened!), and Neal has grown enough to thoroughly appreciate what he has in NYC and hopefully not chuck it for stupid reasons, but Peter is still reacting in the same way. Derp.
I think the inconsistency is a problem - but then again, it's a problem that both characters have. As much as Peter flip-flops back and forth between being an upright FBI agent and flirting with the dark side, Neal also flip-flops constantly between staying on the side of the law and giving in to his more familiar con-artisty instincts. I think that this inconsistency in both characters is probably a big source of the trust issues. Peter never knows if Neal is telling the truth about wanting to do things the right way or if he's lying to Peter to cover up his real plans - and Neal never knows if Peter reallyreally wants him to follow orders, or if this is one of those more flexible "sometimes" orders. If only the two of them would just be straight-up with each other. *headdesk*
Fwiw though, I don't think Peter is hesitant about Sam because Ellen's death isn't important to him - I think it's that he doesn't trust Sam. And...I mean, why should he? Even as a viewer, the moment Sam popped up after Ellen's death I suspected that he might be evil or have some kind of ulterior motive - and my suspicion only grows darker as Sam does his best to isolate Neal from those who are suspicious of Sam, and the show reveals that there's no file photo of Sam to verify his identity, etc. I mean...even I am getting worried that Neal could potentially end up hurt/dead at Sam's hands - and Mozzie said it was worrying him, too. Surely Peter, as a seasoned agent, would be having the same suspicions/concerns - and adding to the worry is the fact that Neal often doesn't have a clear perception/the best judgement when he's grieving and seeking vengeance. So I guess I just see it as Peter trying to see if Sam is on the level, and wanting to play by the FBI rules so that if Sam is crooked, they have some kind of proof/recourse/ability to take Sam down. Which doesn't mean that Peter was necessarily completely right in going behind Neal's back to investigate Sam, but I can understand his line of thinking.
I don't support Peter's actions at all. For whatever reason, Neal did not show Sam the tape.
But Peter automatically jumps to the conclusion that Neal broke their pact.
Neal has every reason to be sick of Peter's self-righteous attitude.
First of all, can anyone please tell me what song they were playing in the scene where Neal and Peter (and Mozzie and Jones) are sparring in Neal's apartment before the fight? I really like that song and I really like that scene :)
Second, "Gloves Off" is by far one of the best episodes of the first half of Season 4. Matt's acting is excellent in that he portrayed such a range of emotions so well. In particular, he was so vulnerable emotionally at the last scene when he tells Peter he did not show Sam the tape but went to see Sam because he knew Ellen and his father. You can tell in his eyes, voice and his face how important that is to him. No matter how good Peter's intentions were, Peter really betrayed Neal by meeting with Sam and investigating Sam. Neal had every right to be so angry. To me, the way Neal loses it in the fight was a catharsis, a real releasing of anger and frustration that had built up over the course of their whole relationship so far as agent and CI.
Tim's acting is equally great. He showed such emotion during the fight too. He was so shocked when at the very beginning of the fight Neal comes after him with real hard punches. Then he shows so much hurt at that final really tough scene when Neal tells him "we're done!"
Third, to me the trust issue is quite believable in the particular context of this episode. It is hugely important to Neal to find Ellen's killers and learn about his father and Sam is his only lead, so naturally he is not going to spook Sam by doing what Sam does not want, i.e, involving Peter. Peter is worried about Neal being in danger from Sam and so when he knows Neal met with Sam but Neal does not tell him, Peter understandably decides to investigate Sam for Neal's own protection. The result is the big mess we have now. To me it is all believable.
Finally, I do not trust Sam. I have my suspicions that Sam is James, Neal's father, because he has such fond memories of Neal as a 3 year old and we saw that picture of Neal as a toddler with the policeman's cap on and his father was in the picture... Also, we do not have a file photo of Sam and Ellen on the tape did not reveal the name of the DC cop she said was a good man. The writers would like us and Neal to assume it is Sam, but we aren't fooled so easily. Neither is Moz. BTW, Moz was awesome in this episode! He was such a loyal friend to Neal as his ring man when he tells Neal that assaulting an FBI agent is not the answer, especially when the agent is your second best friend. Moz really helps Neal calm down enough to throw the fight as originally planned.
One more thing, why did Sam want to make a deal that if Neal helps him find Ellen's killers, then Sam will tell Neal about his father, the truth of what happened, why his father did not contact him and where his father is now. Why doesn't Sam just tell Neal that now??? Perhaps because Sam is his father and does not want to tell Neal that until Ellen's killers have been found. Worst case though is that Sam is working for the bad guys and using Neal to find the key and box with the evidence Ellen found so that he can destroy it on behalf of the bad guys. That is how I would write it. We'll see...
All in all a great episode :)
Squeaky
Anonymous 5:32 - to be fair, Neal instantly assumed that Peter had told the FBI about the tape/violated their pact, too. In the scene where he's punching the heavy bag with Mozzie, he voices said suspicion. The ironic thing is that neither man violated the pact - the pact was to keep the tape/locket/etc a secret, and as of the end of the episode, the tape/locket/etc is still unknown to both Sam and the FBI.
Creo que Peter tenÃa todo el derecho de desconfiar de Neal y pensar que rompió el pacto, recordemos que Neal cito a Sam y que de no ser porque Elizabeth llegó estoy segura que le habrÃa mostrado la cinta ya que le dijo a Sam que tenÃa algo que mostrarle y la portátil estaba en medio de la mesa, además se reunió con Sam a espaldas de Peter con la intención de mostrar la cinta, porque culpar a Peter por reunirse con Sam cuando fue Neal quien primero incumplió, ya sea que al final no haya podido concluir su intención era clara. Hasta moz le dijo que estaba mintiendo
Además Peter está haciendo su trabajo y no creo que otro agente se arriesgarÃa tanto por un criminal que cumple una condena con un trato tan bueno como el que posee Neal y que este parece olvidar ya que está constantemente está arriesgando su libertad quizás por culpa de Peter que siempre evita que Neal pague cualquier consecuencia (a veces pienso que Peter se comporta como un padre súper protector y alcagueta) Peter trata de proteger a Neal incluso de él mismo.
Peter tiene además que protegerse y también a Neal porque como ya ha ocurrido por las cosas que Neal hace Peter se ve afectado por ejemplo: el secuestro de Elizabeth (del que ya a sido perdonado Neal) y que Peter casi pierde su empleo todo porque Neal sigue haciendo las cosas a su manera y a espaldas de Peter, mintiéndole aunque lo niegue él, le miente a Peter constantemente.
Debo decir que me encanto la participación de Moz creo que el personaje mostro más madurez que nunca, incluso más madurez que Neal.
Luna
Tengo que discrepar. Neal tiene muchas razones para estar harto de justicia propia de Pedro, actitud supercilleous. Evidencia: Kate. Pedro de plano se negó a creer que estaba en problemas, y ni siquiera dar una mano Neal Tokan a ayudar a encontrarla. A pesar de sus creencias personales (que yo entiendo y estoy de acuerdo con más de un poco), eso no significa automáticamente que tenÃa razón. Y al final, las acciones de Pedro y la actitud bien podrÃa haberle costado la vida. El diamante rosa: a pesar de toda la cosa maloliente de configuración (en serio, Neal es reconocido como uno de los mejores estafadores del planeta, pero él es tan tonto como para robar una de las gemas más raras del mundo, deje sus iniciales después de decirle a su entrenador FBI sobre ellos, y no desaparecen después de hacer su tobillera apagará? ¿En serio??), Peter ni siquiera se molestó Neal dando una oportunidad. No empezó a pensar que podrÃa haber algo mal hasta que Neal aceptó confesar. Sus acciones después no cuentan, porque la situación en sà no deberÃa haber ocurrido. Si hubiera sido un buen agente (nunca amigo mente), habrÃa preguntas ANTES de una fuga de la cárcel era necesario. Los elefantes de jade: todos Peter sabÃa que era una mujer que no sabÃa estaba en el apartamento de Neal. ¿Qué razón tenÃa para ejecutar sus impresiones, que no sean "ella era un amigo de Neal '? Ninguno. Luego, cuando sus acciones condujeron a la quiebra OP va, él culpó al instante Neal. Hay otros (Fowler, por ejemplo), pero el grande: Adler. Con un pedacito de tela quemada, Peter instante salta a la conclusión de largo-con. Bien, es justo: el mejor estafador del mundo. Sin embargo, tras un interrogatorio de cinco horas de duración que se demuestre su inocencia Neal, hizo ningún esfuerzo para obtener ayuda de Neal en la búsqueda del botÃn. En cambio, hizo todo lo posible para demostrar Neal lo robó. Por lo tanto, Caffrey no podÃa ir a Peter, porque no sólo no serÃa su guÃa y amigo creerle, estarÃa detenido y golpeado en la cabeza con 'Lo sabÃa'. No podÃa ir a Jones o Diana, porque si bien pueden haber creÃdo en él, su lealtad es (con razón) a Peter - lo que significa que se lo habrÃa dicho. Hughes estaba fuera, porque es incluso más - sospechoso? dudando? - Que Peter. Denuncia anónima? Peter nunca habrÃa dejado ir, y aún se conserva acosando Neal, tomándolo como una prueba de que Neal lo robó. Caffrey fue literalmente entre la espada y la pared, porque Pedro es un sentencioso, farisaico tirón a él también gran parte del tiempo. Y, tal vez lo más revelador de todo: Peter nunca se ha disculpado a saltar a conclusiones y asumir automáticamente lo peor todo. solo. tiempo. En el principio, era comprensible. Por lÃnea de tiempo WC, han pasado 2 años. Peter ya no deberÃa siquiera considerar que es automáticamente falta de Neal, y sin embargo lo hace. Entiendo perfectamente POV Neal en "guantes". Peter se lo merecÃa y espero que Dios los escritores finalmente hacerle comer un poco de cuervo, porque no tiene más que ganado.
